Ya me cansé,
Que no me acaricies ni en la mirada,
De ser en tu cama una tercer almohada,
De ver que el futuro se va haciendo flaco,
De saber que la vida no es mas que un rato
Y sentirme mujer porque lavo los platos

Ya me cansé,
De decir que te amo y ver que estas dormido,
Y hacerte una cena especial y ver que te has ido,
De ser un ama de casa y nada más
Con la diferencia del siempre y el jamás
Y hasta sentirme feliz cuando te vas

Detrás de mi ventana veo pasar la mañana
En espera de la noche me destapo
El escote para que este te provoque
Tu fallida ansiedad

Detrás de mi ventana veo pasar el destino
Disfrazado de asesino
Burlándose a carcajadas de este ingrato concubino

Detrás de mi ventana
Se me va la vida
Contigo pero sola

Ya me cansé,
De ser para ti como cualquier camisa
Que planché y se arruga al compás de su riza,
De ser un objeto mas en tu casa
Como un trapo una silla una simple taza
Y que tu ni te enteres de que eso es lo que pasa

Detrás de mi ventana veo pasar la mañana
En espera de la noche me destapo el escote
Para que este te provoque tu fallida ansiedad

Detrás de mi ventana veo pasar el destino
Disfrazado de asesino
Burlándose a carcajadas de este ingrato concubino

Detrás de mi ventana
Se me va la vida,
Contigo pero sola
Sola
